I have this player and its fantastic. The upscaling works well and plays files including Divx straight from the USB port.

Good price, good picture quality. If you have a 1080p display go for the 5980 otherwise get this. There is a simple hack to make it region free. It also has component connection, digital audio out (for AV receiver) & a USB slot.

yup - I got one, its cracking alright, you can have it delivered from Amazon for a quid extra (£40.99)

Agree that this is a good model. I have had one myself for a couple of months and the quality is really good. Only flaw as mentioned in another thread is that you only get 6 characters per file when using USB. Annoying if there are alot of files on there.

£40.99 delivered from Amazon and I know who I'd prefer to deal with if it went wrong....

Still doesnt look as good as the Samsung HD-870 for 42.95 inc p&p at Amazon - What HiFi 5*, upscaling to 1080i, divx etc etc

The only thing its missing is a USB port, but then if you want to watch poor quality divx films all the time, then you're sort of missing the point by buying high quality equipment!

very true but we need something for this price with a nice fast USB port to watch some HD content from that :whistling:
